Summary

This clever and hilarious story stars Cat, who starts out perfectly content and relaxed, and Duck, who infuriates him by meowing like a cat instead of quacking like Cat thinks he should. Written completely in dialogue, this minimalist text by award-winning novelist Sharon G. Flake (in her debut picture book) is fun to read aloud and easy enough for newly independent readers to enjoy on their own. Anna Raffs humorous and deceptively simple artwork highlights the characters personalities, showing Ducks quirkiness and good humor and Cats rising frustration as Duck impersonates a variety of animals, refusing to concede that he is, indeed, a duck. Ducks silliness will appeal to children who enjoy pretend play, and older siblings will relate to Cats annoyance as Duck refuses to leave his side. This concise, funny story is ideal for multiple readings, with playful details in the artwork and humor that never fades
